Proper Usage And Handling; Handling Precautions - Canon CP-100 Guia Del Usuario

Proper Usage and Handling

Usage Location
• Do not use near strong magnets or near devices that produce strong
electromagnetic fields.
Electromagnetic radiation from devices such as TVs and game machines, and
strong magnetic fields from devices such as speakers and large motors, may
cause distortion in printed images.
• Use in a well-ventilated, level area.
• Leave about 10 cm (4 in.) of clearance around the printer. Be sure to leave
clearance around the paper handling slot (at the rear) so that paper has sufficient
room to jut out from the slot during printing.

Handling Precautions

• Please avoid turning the printer's power on and off needlessly as the printer
initialization consumes ink: There may not be enough ink left for the allotted
sheets in the set.
• Never use volatile compounds or insecticides on the printer, and do not allow
rubber or vinyl material to remain in prolonged contact with the printer.
These materials may cause deformation of the printer's casing.
• Unplug the printer when you are not using it.
But please note that you should plug in and run the printer at least once every six
months to ensure that it remains functional.
• Before transporting the printer, remove the paper and ink cassettes and close the
paper cassette cover and the ink cassette cover.
• Pack the printer into an appropriate case for transport.
If a case is not available, wrap it with cloth or other protective material to protect
against scratches.
Overheating
If the printer overheats, it will temporarily stop operating. This does not mean that
the printer has malfunctioned. The printer will resume normal printing as soon as it
cools down.
Temporary stoppages are most likely to occur in the following cases:
• When printing continuously.
• If the room is unusually warm.
• If the air vents are blocked or if ventilation is inadequate.
To Prevent Damage from Condensation
Condensation may form in the printer if you suddenly move it from a cold location
to a warm location. To prevent damage that might be caused by condensation,
place the printer in a sealed vinyl bag prior to moving it, and allow it to reach room
temperature before using it.
